A part of the NATO missile shield was brought online during a ceremony at
the Deveselu air base on Thursday.
Speaking at the event, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg attempted to
play down the idea that the base could threaten Russia’s deterrence capacities.
“Our system cannot undermine or weaken Russia’s strategic deterrent, and we
cannot shoot down their intercontinental ballistic missiles with interceptors
neither from the site here, in Romania, or the site we are building in Poland,”
he said.

Few have run for the presidency with the kind of name recognition as Hillary
Clinton. She has an established name and is also the establishment’s trusted
candidate. Though among many voters she has significant negatives. Barring
an upset she is positioned to win her party’s nomination. The question is – can
she win the hearts and minds – and votes of the American people?

3. The Elites of BRICS Should Know: the US Will Come After Them All
Joshua Tartakovsky is a travelling international journalist. In recent years, he
lived in the Ukrainian-attacked Donbass, Venezuela, Cuba and Brazil. His
main interest is globalization and its discontents: the subjugation of poor
independent nations by the global financial capital, the rebirth of Nazism in
Ukraine and Eastern Europe in general with a blessing from the EU and the
US, the technology of “color revolutions” aimed at destabilizing elected
governments.
In his interview to Dmitry Babich Mr. Tartakovsky tells about the main
problem of our days: about the attempts by the US-based global elite to
subjugate the elites of the few remaining countries not yet in the orbit of US
influence – Russia, China, India, Brazil. In Mr. Tartakovsky’s view, the elites of
these countries simply don’t understand the inevitability of a conflict with the
expanding American hegemony. The only solution to that problem could be an
alliance of the countries still cherishing their sovereignty. There is no
alternative to this way for survival, since the US is prepared to use its
technology of “colored revolutions” everywhere, including the previously
friendly regimes. This technology is aimed at making the elected governments
of sovereign countries look pathetic, outdated, “unfashionable.” It uses the
marketing principles of “product placement” and discreditation of
competitors.

Guido Menzio was taken off and questioned by agents who did not identify themselves, after the woman next to him said she felt ill.
He showed them what he had been writing and the flight eventually took off – more than two hours late.
Mr Menzio told the Washington Post that the pilot seemed embarrassed.
He wrote on Facebook that the experience was “unbelievable” and made him laugh.
The University of Pennsylvania associate professor boarded the Philadelphia-Syracuse flight on Thursday on his way to Ontario, where he was due to give a lecture.
Before the flight took off, the woman sitting next to him passed a note to a member of the cabin crew.
She initially told them she was feeling unwell but then voiced her suspicions about Mr Menzio’s scribblings.
He wrote: “It’s a bit funny. It’s a bit worrisome.
“The lady just looked at me, looked at my writing of mysterious formulae, and concluded I was up to no good.
“Because of that an entire flight was delayed.”
He told Associated Press that the crew should have run additional checks before delaying take-off.
He said: “Not seeking additional information after reports of ‘suspicious activity’ is going to create a lot of problems, especially as xenophobic attitudes may be emerging.”
American Airlines, whose regional partner Air Wisconsin was operating the flight in question, said the crew followed protocol to take care of an ill passenger and then to investigate her allegations. It was established that they were not credible.
The woman was re-booked on a later flight.

Speculation abounds as to which policies became the nail in Davutoglu’s coffin. Could it be Turkey’s policy of “zero problems with neighbors” morphing into the opposite? Could it be the EU-Turkey refugee deal? Or the growing powers of president vis-à-vis those of the prime minister that have been curtailed. The list is endless, but one thing is certain: This “palace coup” as dubbed by an opposition leader, will strengthen Erdogan’s hand. That & more in this debate.

The present ominous situation in Brazil has implications far beyond the country’s borders and continent. Brazil is a key participant in BRICS, one of centrepieces of Putin’s Multipolar World vision. And the predatory Anglo-Zionist Empire is now well on the move there, aiming to destroy, one by one, the hitherto successful independence movements throughout Latin America. The infamous Monroe Doctrine is returning with a vengeance.
A known expert on Latin American affairs, Nil Nikandrov of Moscow’s Strategic Culture Foundation, explains who and why is behind the events surrounding the impeachment of Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff.

========================
US intelligence agencies at the epicentre of Brazilian events
Nil Nikandrov
13-V-2016, 18:24
There is no doubt that the crisis development in Brazil is initiated and “patronized” by the U.S. intelligence agencies. A massive injection of dirt on the leadership of the Workers’ Party, on the functionaries of the state oil company Petrobras and on the close associates of President Dilma Rousseff and Lula da Silva, her predecessor, was implemented within the framework of a special operation to neutralize “a hostile regime”. That is how the Obama administration perceives the largest South American state, conducting an independent policy. The strategic plan is, to suppress the will to resist of the ruling elite of Brazil, forcing it to follow in the wake of US policy.
…….
It is clearly visible that a significant portion of the dirt (real and fabricated), used for blackmail of and pressure on the Brazilian leadership, had been obtained by the U.S. National Security Agency before the escape of Snowden and his revelations. This entire mass of data was withheld until the given hour. Then, these materials were retransmitted through controlled media, agents, journalists and NGOs, with the objective to create a social and political chaos and destabilize the country. Under such circumstances, it will be simpler for Washington to promote to key positions its own men. The claimed “constitutional procedures” for the removal of Dilma Rousseff from power are just a cover for the implementation of a creeping coup d’état. However, if need be, Obama, concluding his presidency, will authorize any actions, including “Maidan with a Brazilian face”.
Under the roof of the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia and the U.S. consulates, already acts an accordingly selected command team. Liliana Ayalde, who heads the Embassy, began her career on the international stage within the structures of USAID, in other words, she worked closely with the CIA and other intelligence agencies. Among Ayalde’s activities while she was the U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay (2008 – 2011), was creation of conditions for the ouster of President Fernando Lugo. In June 2012 the Parliament of Paraguay declared Lugo’s impeachment. … A similar scenario is taking place now in Brazil.
The second person at the Embassy well familiar with the “Latin American Theatre” of special operations, is Andrew Bowen. Before arriving to Brazil, he served in Colombia in the American mission to fight against drugs. Still earlier, Bowen worked at the U.S. embassies in Ecuador, Caracas, Panama, Mexico and Honduras. In the political and economic sections of the Embassy, which are often used as a cover for the CIA and the NSA personnel, there are at least 50 employees. Of these, “shines” most Alexis Ludwig, held at the sensational spy cases in Bolivia and Argentina. Very active is Abigail Dressel, officially in charge of culture, education and press. Attaché for legal affairs is Steve Moore, the chief of department for fight against narcotics is Gwendolyn Llewellyn, the director of USAID is Michael Eddy – and the list goes on and on.
…….
…….
The acting Brazilian President became Michel Temer, who formed a new government. … … Temer refrained from a detailed presentation of the new foreign policy course of the country, but, according to all forecasts, it will be pro-American.
Temer is now 75, a descendant of the Catholic Maronites of Lebanon, a lawyer by profession, and the head of the Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement. In the 1980s he was the Attorney General of the state of Sao Paulo, and after that, also there, the Minister of Public Security. It was at that time that Temer established close ties with the US Embassy.
Vice President Temer was elected together with Dilma Rousseff in October 2010. While in fact, he was a “Trojan horse” of the U.S. Embassy in her office. Temer left the government coalition in March, refusing to support Rousseff under the pretext of corruption scandal in Petrobras. And that while an investigation of corruption against Temer himself was requested in the chamber of deputies. However, corruption differs from corruption. Apparently, the newly acting President has received the appropriate assurances from the U.S. Embassy and is diligently working them out.
After the impeachment, Brazil will be subjected to neoliberal reforms, primarily privatization of state-owned companies. The United States will actively participate in this process. It was for this purpose that the whole affair with the impeachment started. The government in Brazil was handed to the people who themselves are mired in corruption scandals, but that already is of no significance to the U.S. administration whatsoever.

Bedtime for Democracy … this time in Brazil
http://bit.ly/1TBTPuJ
This an excellent article. And the embedded in it 2’29” TELESUR video “Brazil: Back in the Clutches of Washington” summarises the entire situation (it is also on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYA53Fc6QKU ). Big trouble.
Wonderful world news report. I got as far as Sophie Co and the Vatileaks. The first thing I noticed was her beauty. The Russian media is going west young man. She had a wry smile and a probing mind.
A poem was delivered today when I was in town:
I passed a passing fair on the street
She almost knocked me off my feet
She was drop dead beautiful in my head
What she was in bed can’t be said
Give me a break. I’m in a manic mood and besides it’s Friday the 13th, a womam’s day for sure.
I used to be a Catholic priest. I wonder if I could have been Pope had I stayed the course. It probably would have ended in remorse. The Pope had the kindness to give me an honorable discharge.
I noticed that he wore a white suitcoat. That is going just too far.
I read some time ago that some New York firm was doing the accounting. Gian was really pro-Francis. I’m curious to see if this will change the Saker’s mind. I’m curious as to the comments to follow. This is hardly a modern inquisition into merchants in the temple. Jesus did the real thing in the temple of his time.
I used to contribute my Peter Pence. Now I wonder if my two cents made any sense. “I’m a poet and I know it; hope I don’t blow it.”
We named our son Francis after St. Francis and his grandfather. Thanks to us he’s sworn off religion. And to think I was in the Franciscan Order with vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. I’ve changed to say the least. Now I love beauty and the beast.
I want to catch the rest of the news. But if I don’t take care of Apolonia’s trees I’ll be singing the blues.
As we used to say in the good old days as we kissed the floor: Pax vobiscum; peace be with you.
I was feeling high but after reading the rest of this world news report I’m depressed and angry. The news is terrible. I doubt Russia and Co will survive unless there’s a miracle of love in the wings.
A maiden with a brazen brazilian face and creeping coup d’etats all over the place, slouching towards Russia.
4000 journalists fear for their lives in Hero’s Land. Chickens come home to roost for not telling the truth. Even the dark haired beauty in Tel Aviv is “concerned.”
Rousseff and the worker party falls before the scythe. Temer Timor and his all male cabinet with their investor wish list have a Judas kiss for the 99%. Flush sovereignty with impeachment.
Menzio’s scribbling are writing on the wall for our defunct civilonation.
I watched some of a Russian movie from a sidebar. It was the Godfather warmed over down to the Brando Corleone voice. The thugs have turned into slugs.
Then came the heartbreaker backbreaker: the new zoo in Crimea. What a travesty of freedom. Pussy riot rot that will rot Russia; a crazy AZ wet dream come true. They’re buying body bags on the black market already.
Welcome the Dizzyland West in the east; compliments of the beast of beasts. The mighty King of the Beasts reduced to mighty mouse for a few kopeks or on the house. Kangaroos with the biggest heart of all land animals forced to bend their necks to eat peanuts from peons of the brain with no hearts at all.
Lions eating meat off a wood pallet. Have we no shame over killing a whole animal nation while we eat meat off a golden plate? A petting zoo for children designed to make them pets like their parents. Can’t we see that if we make free animals pets, we will be pets of empire? Are we so stupid we can’t even connect dots that children can?
I suppose there’s a dog show theater of the absurd not far off. I didn’t see the terrible Russian bear in a cage turned into a teddy bear.
I love free animals because I want to be free and I want Russia to be free. It is not the elites in DC that will bring Russ to her knees. It’s granny down the street with her cute little lap dog and killer attack dog.
How horrible is it for seal to climb up a cement pool rather than a sand beach. Have we no brains whatsoever? The world is going to the dogs so we can make money and coddle our neurotic unmet needs for love with substitute fetishes. I’m no pet psychic but free animals are telling me loud and clear that they will take their revenge.
Zoos are better than slaughterhouses but it’s the slaughter house market that brings in the raw flesh of innocents. “I’ve been on the killing floors. I pay in blood but not my own.”
This is no rant; it’s a sacred chant. The choirs of angels hide their faces and wipe their tears at the murder going on in the name of love.
Russia is going western on a one way train to hell. There’s much, much more and worse going down. If we don’t wake up soon to the facts of nature we are all going down. Even the Goddess won’t be able to stop this lemming parade.
The Lover might though. There’s a 100,000 strong love army coming our way like a slow train from the south of 100,000 years ago on this planet. I’m going to catch that train before it leaves the Saint Petersburg station. It don’t carry no ramblers or gamblers like it used to do. I’m no rambler or gambler anyway. If I were I’d bet on the midnight special of no pets allowed and ramble with the one free feeless Russian Bear left, bearing down on all those idiots hunting bare. Someone has to kick their assets out the Crimean Parks. I hope vineyards don’t miss the marks on the barks of the trees, mistaking dog barks for noah arks.
Your words are flowers for my heart and mind,
Just keep it going in this vineyard land.
Whatever comes out from your lovely brain,
You can be sure, it is not in vain.
The Pussy Riots with some carrots
Are trying hard to win the game
But never mind, they are like Harlots
The end will never be the same.
Many thanks. Some things have to expressed in round-about ways until we’re ready for straight talk. The day is coming. In the meantime I enjoy your thought-dreams.
